lis.prodplanning 4
Smart production planning and control
lis.prodplanning 4 is LiSEC's intelligent solution for production planning and detailed scheduling. The system helps companies efficiently plan, balance and control production orders across machines, lines and resources. Transparency across capacities, bottlenecks and utilisation enables faster decisions, improved delivery reliability and optimum resource utilisation.
How is lis.prodplanning 4 structured?
lis.prodplanning 4 comprises several coordinated functional areas:
- Capacity planning for determining and visualising machine and line utilisation
- Central planning interface for production orders and resources
- Gantt chart view for graphical detailed scheduling of production orders
- Heatmaps for rapid identification of bottlenecks and overloads
- Conflict management for detecting and resolving scheduling conflicts
- Advanced Scheduling for detailed scheduling and sequencing of orders
- Automatic Scheduling for automatic plan adjustments when changes occur
- Simulation functions for scenario analyses and planning impacts
- Integration with GPS.prod based on capacity data and production feedback
How does lis.prodplanning 4 work?
lis.prodplanning 4 uses capacity data and production feedback to calculate current and future utilisation of machines, lines and resources. The system provides a clear visualisation of production planning and identifies bottlenecks, overloads and scheduling conflicts at an early stage.
Production managers can reschedule orders manually using drag & drop or use automatic scheduling. New orders, schedule changes and production disruptions are taken into account and can be incorporated into the plan automatically. This creates a continuously updated, realistic plan that improves delivery reliability and reduces manual effort.
Who is lis.prodplanning 4 suitable for?
lis.prodplanning 4 is suitable for:
- Flat glass manufacturers with complex production processes
- Production managers and manufacturing supervisors
- Work preparation and production planning
- Companies with multiple machines, lines or machine chains
- Companies seeking to digitalise their capacity planning
- Companies requiring transparency across utilisation and bottlenecks
- Production environments with frequent deadline changes and fluctuating order volumes
- Glass processors seeking to improve resource utilisation and delivery reliability
What advantages does the software offer?
lis.prodplanning 4 provides companies with a central solution for production planning and detailed scheduling. The software provides transparency across capacities, utilisation and bottlenecks and helps plan production orders efficiently across machines, lines and resources. Automatic and manual detailed scheduling reduce planning effort, improve adherence to delivery dates and ensure optimum use of resources. Changes in production, new orders or disruptions become visible quickly and can be incorporated into the plan immediately.
What functions are included as standard?
- Central production planning and detailed scheduling
- Capacity planning for machines, lines and machine chains

Which optional functions can be added?
Advanced Scheduling Add-on
- Drag & drop sequencing of production orders
- Start-time scheduling for individual production steps
- Simulation of rescheduling and its impact
- Detailed machine allocation and sequence planning
- Drill-down to order or item level
Automatic Scheduling Add-on
- Automatic rescheduling when new orders are received
- Automatic consideration of schedule changes and disruptions
- Continuous optimisation of production planning based on current data
Shop Floor Feedback Integration
- Production feedback to support detailed scheduling
- Real-time feedback from the shop floor for current planning decisions
The Highlights
Automatic production planning
With the optional Automatic Scheduling add-on, new orders, schedule changes and production disruptions are automatically incorporated into the plan. This reduces manual planning effort and enables production to respond more quickly to changes.
Transparent capacity overview
Gantt charts and heatmaps visualise current and future utilisation of machines and lines. Bottlenecks, overloads and scheduling conflicts are identified at an early stage and can be resolved in a targeted manner.
Advanced detailed scheduling with drag & drop
Production orders can be moved and resequenced flexibly using drag & drop. The impact of changes is simulated, helping production planners make informed decisions.
